Chapter 1: Meeting One

I blinked. It was One, as I had seen her.

Just… alive.

She looked at me disapprovingly and asked, "Well?"

I was probably going to say something with authority, but she cut me off with a loud "HZZZT! I know who you are Adam."

"How?" I asked.

"We share a brain, dummy," she replied.

"Oh, duh."

"What are you trying to do, help out your scary #$^ pops? Because I don't think you can get out of this helping him?"

Three Years Later

The General came up to me and asked, "Did it work?"

I looked over his shoulder, and I saw One signaling me to say no.

"It did," I admitted.

One briefly gasped and then disappeared.

The General nodded and pressed a button on the wall. A Mogadorian engineer came in.

"Donate to Dr. Anu," he commanded. "Give him supplies for his experiments."
